Figure 1 Cisplatin (CP) induces acute kidney injury. Cisplatin nephrotoxicity was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin (10mg/kg body weight) or vehicle (same volume of 0.9% NaCl) once into mice with three different Klotho genetic backgrounds. (a) Plasma creatinine (PCr) and (b) blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured at days 0, 2, 4, 7, and 14 post injection. The results are expressed as means±s.d. of eight animals from each group. Statistical significance was assessed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test, and significant differences were accepted when *P<0.05, **P<0.01 versus WT cisplatin injection and #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 versus Tg-Kl cisplatin injection. At days 4, 7, and 14 post cisplatin or vehicle injections, mice were euthanized, and the kidneys were harvested and sectioned for histology from four animals in each group. (c) Representative hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining in paraffin-embedded kidney sections. Renal tubular casts (asterisk); dilated renal tubules (arrow head); and infiltrated inflammatory (arrow). (d) Kidney histological scores were obtained from H&E staining of the kidneys by a nephropathologist blinded to the experimental conditions. Results of pathological scores are expressed as means±s.d. of eight animals from each group. Statistical significance was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test, and significant differences were accepted when *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 between the two groups.

Figure 2 Cisplatin induces Klotho deficiency and increases neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) expression. (a) Representative immunoblot for NGAL and Klotho in total kidney lysate in each group (total four mice per group) at days 4, 7, and 14 post cisplatin (CP) or vehicle injection. (b) Summarized densitometric analyses of all samples from vehicle or cisplatin-injected mice. Data are expressed as means±s.d. of four animals from each group. (c) Representative fluorescent immunohistochemistry for Klotho (blue) and NGAL (green) in paraffin kidney sections at days 4, 7, and 14 post injection (four mice in each group). Arrows show NGAL signals. (d) Levels of Klotho and NGAL transcripts in the kidneys from vehicle or cisplatin-injected mice on the fourth, seventh, and fourteenth day were analyzed by quantitative PCR. The relative quantity of transcripts was calculated as 2−(ΔΔCt) by normalization to cyclophilin vehicle-injected wild-type (WT) mice as reference in each time point. Data are expressed as means±s.d. of six animals from each group. Statistical significance was assessed by one-way analysis of variance followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test, and significant differences were accepted when *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 between the two groups.

Figure 4 Klotho protects normal rat kidney (NRK) cells from cisplatin cytotoxicity. NRK cells were plated on Transwell plates to allow separate access to apical and basal compartments. Cisplatin (CP), Klotho (Kl), or cimetidine (Cim) were added to either apical or basolateral compartments simultaneously. Alternatively, cisplatin was added basally for 20min followed by wash-out and addition of cimetidine or Klotho to basal side. (a) Cell damage was measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release.

Figure 6 Mechanism of action of Klotho on OCT2 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. CHO cells were transiently transfected with empty pcDNA3.1 vector, human OCT2-V5 plasmid, or human Klotho plasmid. Two days post transfection, cells were subjected to 14C-tetraethylammonium (14C-TEA) uptake, immunocytochemistry, immunoblot, and quantitative reverse transcriptase–PCR (RT-qPCR). β-Glucuronidase (β-glu; 100μg/ml), sialidase (0.1IU/ml), DSAL (D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone; 10μmol/l), or cimetidine (0.1mmol/l) were added into culture medium 16h before assays. (a) 14C-TEA uptake by CHO cells. Data are expressed as means±s.d. of four independent experiments. (b) Representative image (X, Y, and Z scanning) of fluorescent immunocytochemistry for V5 (OCT2, green), Klotho (blue), and phalloidin (marker of actin, red) in CHO cells from four independent experiments. CHO cells without Klotho expression had strong OCT2 expression (shown by arrowhead), whereas CHO cells expressing high Klotho had weak OCT2 expression (shown by arrow). (c) Summary of arbitrary units of OCT2 signal versus Klotho signal in OCT2/V5 and/or in Klotho transiently transfected CHO cells. Each point was an average of arbitrary units from five different randomized fields where each field has at least four positive transfected cells at × 100 magnification. OCT2-positive cells (green symbols); Klotho-positive cells (blue symbols); and double positive cells (yellow symbols). Y axis is an arbitrary unit of OCT2 signal calculated by green density (OCT2) over red density (actin) using the Image J program; X axis is an arbitrary unit of Klotho signal, which was calculated by green density (OCT2) over red density (actin) using the Image J program. Data are expressed as means±s.d. of four independent experiments. (d) Representative immunoblots for OCT2/V5 by V5 antibody, Klotho by KM2076 antibody, and β-actin in total membrane protein extracted from CHO cells. Identical results were seen in three independent experiments. Bottom panel is a summary of densitometric analysis of bands of V5 and β-actin from all three independent experiments. (e) Levels of human OCT2, rat oct1, and oct2 mRNA in NRK cells transiently transfected with human OCT2/V5 plasmid and Klotho plasmid were quantitatively analyzed by qPCR with specific primers. The relative quantification of transcripts was calculated as 2−(ΔΔCt) by normalization to cyclophilin and compared with OCT2/V5–transfected CHO cells. Data are expressed as means±s.d. of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was assessed by one-way analysis of variance followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test, and significant differences were accepted when *P<0.05 or **P<0.01 between the two groups.

Figure 7 Klotho decreased cationic styryl dye (ASP+, a substrate of organic cation transporter) uptake by kidney slices. Kidney slices from Kl/+, wild-type (WT), and Tg-Kl mice were co-incubated with ASP+ with vehicle, Klotho, or cimetidine for 2h. Kidney sections were photographed for ASP+ signal (green fluorescent) with laser confocal microscopy.

Figure 9 Klotho suppressed cisplatin excretion in vivo. Ten microliter per gram body weight of 14C-tetraethylammonium (14C-TEA; 0.1μCi/μl, 3.5mCi/mmol) was once injected intravenously into Kl/+, wild-type (WT), and Tg-Kl mice; blood and urine samples were collected at the indicated times. (a) Time course of blood concentration of 14C-TEA. (b) Time course of urinary excretion of 14C-TEA. (c) Cumulated urinary 14C-TEA over 60min. (d) Creatinine clearance. In panels (a–c), data are expressed as means±s.d. of three animals from each genotype, and statistical analysis were run by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test. Significant differences were accepted when *P<0.05, **P<0.01 compared with Kl/+ mice and #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 compared with WT mice. (e) Two hours after injection, eight organs were harvested and homogenized for measurement of 14C-TEA uptake and total protein. Uptake of 14C-TEA normalized to protein was calculated and significances between mice with three different genotypes were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test. Significant differences were accepted when *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 between the two groups. (f) Tissues and organs were sectioned at 10-μm thickness and subjected to autoradiography.

Figure 10 Summary of findings and proposed scheme for Klotho effect on cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. Klotho OCT2-independent effect is related to anti-apoptosis (right panel). Klotho OCT2-dependent effects (left panel) can be glucuronidase dependent or glucuronidase independent. Glucuronidase-independent effect is associated with downregulation of OCT2 mRNA. Glucuronidase-dependent effects are more complex. Klotho could decrease total cell OCT2 protein by functioning as a glucuronidase independent of OCT2 mRNA. Klotho also reduces primarily glycosylated surface OCT2 protein in 2h effect and both glycosylated and unglycosylated surface OCT2 in 2 days effect. Klotho can potentially directly decrease OCT2 activity without alteration of OCT2 protein (dashed line). Collectively, Klotho suppresses OCT2 transport function and consequently reduces cisplatin uptake. On the other hand, Klotho functions as an anti-apoptotic agent and as an anti-oxidant independently of cisplatin uptake to protect cells against cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity.
